Corey McGuire is a woman who doesn’t let her medical conditions define her. Despite her achondroplasia, a form of dwarfism, and her scoliosis, she managed to live an active and full life, far exceeding the predictions of doctors who did not foresee that she would live beyond 16 years. Now 26, she is not only still alive, but living a happy and productive life.

She found love with Jamie Taylor, who also suffers from serious health issues including cardiopulmonary failure and chronic lung disease. Despite their height difference — Jamie is 182cm while Corey is only 90cm — they managed to build a solid relationship. They are now engaged and looking forward to getting married.

Corey also uses his situation to help others. She created a TikTok profile where she talks about the lives of short people. Its goal is to create an online community where people of all physical abilities can come together and support each other.

This story shows the power of resilience and courage in the face of adversity. Corey isn’t letting his medical conditions dictate his life. On the contrary, she uses them as a platform to help others and to live a full and happy life.
